Do you provide a Shuttle Service from the Finish in Pasadena back to the Start in Wrightwood ?

We do not provide a shuttle service back to the start in Wrightwood. However, in 23 years of the race, we have never had a case where a runner could not find transportation to get to where he needed to go. If you arrived with a rental car in Wrightwood, there will be 25 others runners in similar circumstances. We suggest you team up with another runner and plant one of the cars at the Finish area, than drive back together to Wrightwood after the race is over. We will post the Name of runners and the City, State, and Country where they are from, on Thursday afternoon before the race. If you still have a problem, bring it up during the trail briefing on Friday. Or just run the race and catch a ride with someone going back to Wrightwood. Wrightwood residents are volunteers and come to Pasadena to watch the runners finish the race. The most difficult part of the race is getting to the Finish area, not getting back to work on Monday.

Will you have training runs on the course during the months before the race?

We will have four course familiarization runs during the months leading up to the race. Each training run will cover 1/4 of the course. We will have one night run on the last 1/4 of the course to give runners an opportunity to experience a night run. Date and time of the training runs will be posted in the Trail Maint.Sch.(& Training Runs)Page of this website.
